STORIES FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL From The Palladium's Special Correspondent, Ralph M. Whiteside

Washington, April i.'.". "Congress is a funny thing," said a British attache the other day. He was right, if you regard its activities lightly and detuchedly. To two or three subdivisions of the government it is a sort of a bogie man. The Civil Service Commission and the Biological Survey hears its roar every winter and shivers. Several other departments experience the same thing and there is constant fear that no further appropriation will he made for their maintenance anil sustenance. After there has been plenty of fright and plenty of shivering, the storm blows over. As a rule, the departments receive, increased appropriations. The Forest Reserve was added to the list of frightened departments this winter. Terrible feints have been made at the organization Gilford Pinchot. presides over so enthusiastically. He was accused of getting himself in the papers too much of having subordinates on the payroll to look after publicity. Mr. Pinchot is a friend of the President and a member of the Tennis Cabinet." Where those opposed to him figure out that he stands in need of constant advertisement is a mystery. There are a number of shrinking members of both houses, whose aversion to publicity is the despair of all the purveyors of public intelligence. Their indictment of the Forest Service, charging that a "press bureau" is maintained, is truly comic. In this connection, it might be said that it. would be a very good thing for the government, as well as the people of the United States, if there was one man in e.'ich important branch of the national government who was competent to explain in detail the important activities. Government reports are dreary reading and have a benumbing effect on the human intellect. No other printed pages equal them in deadly dullness. It often occurs that these reports contain something of the keenest interest and greatest importance, but the public loses this information because it is not gleaned from the uninteresting and unimportant and not "put up" in an attractive, inviting form. The government officials who make up reports seem to take care to eliminate all freshness, all interesting features, and to use a furm of language at once wearying and taxing to the under stan ding. It would be a good thing to employ plain, simple English, never employing a four-syllable word when a onesyllable word will express the same thought. A little of this kind of pubj licity will go a long ways toward erelating a general interest in the doings i...., ...v... l til lilt- irtl'liai. iPili in', I'l vijtir tilt' not reading reports, nor will they until there has been a reform. A scientist of the Department of Agriculture set our to determine in the average litter of pigs how many are male and how many female. He made little of his opportunity, unfortunately, and still more unfortunately the public did not care. Another scientist had printed a. remarkable report, of an investigation, upon which to furnish free advice to 50 Fathoms Deep WAY down on the bottom ' ' of the sea under three hundred feet of water is the favorite home of the codfish. The ice-cold water of Norway and the North Atlantic is his joy. He has the power to grow fat under severe surroundings. The same natural power is in Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil.

citizens, so that, they would be able to know the common housefly. ib' used a long string of Latin words. Plain, good English cropped out in one place, and he said: "The house-lly won't bite you; don't be afraid." Latin names are not needed to know the pestiferous house-fly. He does bite, notwithstanding the scientist, as everyone knows who has tried to sleep late of a summer's morning. Every citizen who has bought screens can tell a house-fly ten yards distant and the men who sell the screens do not display Latin arguments to help the purchase of them. The scientist wanted to tell what a dangerous chap the house-fly is and how important if is to shoo him out of the house and keep him out. He did not convey a warning in his report, however. The following sentence would have summed up the entire subject, and no brushing up in languages, played-out or fresh, is needed to set it forth: "The house-lly is a mean kind of a pest, who is never satisfied unless annoying human beings. He carries the germs of typhoid fever on his legs and he is liable, in crawling over your food or your lips to drop a few of these germs. Then you are liable to get typhoid fever. So keep the house-fly out. of the house." The Forest Service is now sending reports of its work to the newspapers. When they are interesting they are, of course, printed. When they are dull, as they sometimes are. they are thrown into the waste-basket. The Smithsonian Institute recently began to send out reports of interesting work. The "diffusion of knowl

edge" is one of the organic requirements of the institution. The Geological Survey also is doing somelhing in this line. Mr. Pinchot has the right idea, about publicity. In commenting on his purpose in assigning two men to write news articles about forestrywork for the use of newspapers and periodicals, he says: "To get. information in the newspapers, it is necessary to put it up in newspaper form. No one is better competent to do this than newspaper writers. Correspondents have come to my office for information, which they had a. right to ask for. before any means existed of seeing that they got it. The present methods of the service have both advanced the ends for which it exists ami been helpful to the representatives of the press. "Any press bureau activity would defeat itself. It would be no time until the correspondents of newspapers from all sections of the country would discover the existence of such a bureau. The an of the press agent is transparent and any attempt, at selflaudation would be cut out by the correspondents who receive copy. A very different result would be obtained the service would get plenty of publicity, but, probably, of a different kind than that, for which such a bureau would be established." Mr. Pinchot. while not saying so in so many words, conveys the opinion that no department of the government would be so foolish as to think that the correspondents could be fooled for any length of time. A nevspaier published in Chicago, called the Aster, is rather active with political discussions these days. In its last issue it contained a review of all the candidates for the presidency, including both the Republican and Democratic parties. Mr. Tafi's secretary showed him a copy of the paper, pointing out the article referring to his chances. The Secretary of War cannot read Greek, so he asked his confidential man. Mr. Carpenter, what the types were talking about. While Carpenter was translating. Mr.. Taft scanned the sheet. At the bottom, printed in English, he saw this assertion: "One thing. Mr. Bryan will not be elected." "File this for future reference," said the big secretary. ' I like to read this kind of literature." When Jack Heall came to Washing- ' ton. with credentials as Congressman from Texas sewed up in the lining of his coat, he went over to the Washington monument at, a time when the place was deserted and there he framed a speech, which he subsequently delivered in Congress. "I was leaning against the monument when the inspiration for that speech came," he told Shed Hill. "My goodness. Jack." replied Hi".!,

RIGHT TO TRADE MILEAGE FOR SPACE

Case Between Railroads and! Newspapers to Be Heard. Chicago, April 2. I'nited States District Attorney Sims lias finished a brief in a suit -which involves the right of railroads to buy advertising space with transportation. If the arguments of the Federal attorney prevail, .ludge Kohlsaal will establish a precedent that will invalidate thousands of dollars worth of contracts now existing between railroad ompanies, steamship lines and other carriers, and newspapers and magazines. TIt1 interstate commerce act prohibits the issuance of passes by common carriers to any one stive their own employes and officers of other railroads and transportation companies. The roads claim the right to issue transportation to publishers and to receive an equivalent in ad vortisetneiit. Sims holds that this result in the practice of giving passes to favored publishers, who. in turn, favor the corpor ations in publishing their reading matter. The Motion railroad is defendant in the first suit. .ludge Kohlsaal will hear arguments May 1. STRIKE WAS NOT SO COSTLY EITHER Muncie Spent Little More Than $330. Muncie. April 2".

TrofesRor Duerden in the report of the South Afrl' an Association Fur the Advancement of Si lence alludes to a curious habit of the ostrich. whi--h may have Riven rise to the oin-e widely spre.'id belief that it tries to hide itseif by burving its hend in the sand. The young chicks, it appears, when alarmel lie down flat on the ground, with the r.eok strfeheil out. In this josition they harmonize with their surroundings and are net easily seen. If taken up they are found to be limp and he'pless and do not re-over for some time. Thi is on instance not uncommon in the animal world of death feigning for protective purpose. Adult ostriches, however, being swift of foot, usually seek safety in flight. At times, however, if suddenly alarmed, as by the appearance of a man from the top ef n kopje or from behind au ant hill, an adult bird will collapse and fail to th ground with out srrethM neck. This. Professor Pur'en thinks, may be a retention of the death feigning instinct of the chi'-k. and it has probably piven rise to the fiction that the ostri'h tries to escape observation by hidinp its head In the sand.
